Two Fun Folds using Horse & Sleigh and All About Autumn DSP

Hello! Sorry for the absence but you know, we took a cruise! We had the best time. I crafted with Kurstan and Patty when we were sailing along. I saw lighthouses but very little fall color. The locals were saying it's been too warm and dry.

Today I have two pretty cards that are both fun folds. The first one is made with One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series paper. The One Horse Open Sleigh suite is an Online Exclusive only. The supply list for this card is at the bottom of the post.

This is a landscape card (the crease is on the left).

This is the inside of the card. Notice the front is shorter with the center panel as the focal point.

Cutting Instructions:

Card Base: 7 3/4 x 4 1/4; score at 5 1/2
Center Panel: 3 1/8" x 4 1/8"
Designer Series paper for Center Panel: 3 x 4, DSP for side flap: 2 x 4
DSP for inside: 4 x 5 1/4
Inside liner: 3 x 4

The second card I have for you today is a fall card. This Designer Series Paper is stunning. All About Autumn DSP has been hard to come by. It is currently not available but will be back in stock next week. One side of the paper has photos of fall scenes, pumpkins, leaves and books and the other side is foiled! Coppery, shiny and so pretty. Today's card used a realistic scene of the woods with sun streaking in. Isn't it pretty?

This is a portrait card but is cut a bit differently that most of my cards. The front is trimmed off 1" so it's shorter than the back. That gives you space to adhere more pretty paper! The label is die cut with a Deckled Rectangle die. I love the little bit of detail that gives the sentiment. Those Adhesive-Backed Speckle dots add just the right amount of sparkle. (Note: these dots are so popular and currently not available so keep checking back if you want some) This is an easy card and can be mass produced quickly but are so pretty in hand.
